Linux-Is-Best

No worries. I was just trying to make sure it was clear that is how it works and always how it worked so no one gets confused about it if they read the thread.
IIRC @breatheheavy modified their email templates to use the sendgrid unsubscribe instead of the IPS unsubscribe which is where I believe the core of their issue is coming from TBH. Sendgrid won't honor what the End User wants from IPS is the End User has specified they don't want email from the sender at all.

I must apologize for being short-worded with my answers. I fear in my attempt to be short and direct, I have left the wrong impression. 
 
 I understood that is how it works now, and that is how it has worked. My initial comment was for @breatheheavy as I was confused and puzzled on how he had managed to unite the e-mail in such a fashion. SendGrid (https://sendgrid.com) as I understood it was a mailing service, and I was puzzled how that server was somehow undermining the internal e-mail system. I admit to ignorance (not knowing better in this instance on how that can happen).  
 
I made my reply before I knew you had replied. 
 
Once you read my comment, I appreciate you took the time to clarify that the two (newsletters -vs.- general e-mails) should operate independently. While I already knew this, I was appreciative that you took the time to address me anyways (thanks). I quickly said that it was good to know in my short-sightedness and that I am looking forward to 4.6. Which I am looking forward to since it will support PHP 8. But there was no way for you to know why I am waiting for 4.6, and my pleasantry comment, with my effort to be short-worded, seems to have given the wrong impression.  
 
I apologize for my miscommunication.
 

This is how it works NOW. Its always been how it worked. When you sign up for the newsletter/admin communication you are signing up to allow for "bulk mail" that the admin sends. It does not in any way affect the notifications etc.

This is how the newsletter works currently. If you're having problems with it then there is something larger as far as an issue. Receiving bulk mail from the site is NOT under the same umbrella as receiving notification emails etc. THEY ARE separate.

Q1) How are they unsubscribing? Normally when they unsubscribe from the newsletter this doesn't stop other things. Most likely you are using Sendgrid's unsubscribe and you would likely have to discuss this with them or get some sort of mod to undo this miess.
Q2) If they aren't subscribed to your newsletter that block shows up (last I checked it doesn't show to guests at all).
What it sounds like is that they are subscribed to your newsletter but they have unsubscribed from receiving your emails through sendgrid and so sendgrid isn't sending anything. You should be using the default IPS subscribe/unsubscribe stuff, not sendgrid's which is likely your downfall here.

Absolutely this. Things happen, even to big name brands. Take just recently for example, a major brand webhost had such an incident where they had a data centre in France get completely decimated in a fire, which caused outages to millions of websites.

I don’t trust hosting provider backups. A second VPS, with another provider, in another data center with sufficient storage for data and configuration backups. That VPS can be less CPU and RAM intensive, mine is 1 core with 1gb RAM, but may require larger amounts of disk space depending upon your needs. 
I run a couple of small forums, a handful of Wordpress sites, and the entire Atlassian suite on a single VPS, 8 cores, 32gb of RAM. Generally using about 12gb with another 4-6gb cache. I’m also using webmin. 
You should also consider if you’re going to be using the server for other services, e.g. email or others. 

Hey IC fam, is it just me or does it feel like every morning I wake up and it's Wednesday. No more Mondays or Fridays, just Wednesdays. The weeks are flying by 🤯 
Maybe it's cause we're hard at work on 4.6 and the Achievements system.
I personally had a chance to play around with Achievements and it's super powerful and sleek. Without giving away too much, it's seamless and intuitive. If you are even semi-familiar with the admin panel (which I imagine many of you are 😆) then you'll pick things up rather quick. 
Below is a list of new fixes we made for 4.6 in the last few days:
 
- Fixed sitemaps not generating properly.
- Fixed an issue where font-sizes on mobiles weren't following the Font Scale setting. (FORUMS)
- Fixed an issue where users may not see the correct page after checkout if email validation is in use. (GALLERY)
- Subscriptions Grace Period setting will now allow a value of 0.
- Fixed an issue where AdminCP theme resource may continuously be written to disk.
- Improved performance of session handling.
- Fixed the hardcoded "Change how the notification is sent" text with the notification. (BLOG)

I think @kmk is talking about Markdown-like task list. You can enter something like this:
And after this content is posted you will get clickable task list with ability to check and uncheck any item:

Really like this idea but I'm pretty sure it is not simple to implement.

Ips has calendar... 
Author, admin moderators and member assigned with ability to check the list if the task is done... 
If the task miss check action before the date and time setup with calendar, then send  messenger reminder to who with ability to check it, and show a red label "need to be reviewed"... 
Users with permission to check list just can do it without edit the post... 

Can you please provide an example @kmk?

Ask yourself, how will you be managing your VPS (virtual private server)? Will it be exclusively through a terminal using SSH? Or will you be opting to use a control panel such as Plesk, Cpanel, or Direct Admin, to name a few? What other products or services will you be installing on your VPS? How many members and active visitors (guests too) do you anticipate online, not throughout the day, but at a single point?  You generally want enough to run everything you're planing, plus room to grow, plus the unexpected.
If you plan on managing your VPS with only the terminal using SSH and you have experienced optimizing your configuration. Plus, your site is relatively new; I would suggest at a minimum 1 core with 2GB of ram. If you do not have any experience optimizing your configuration, 2 cores with 3 GB of ram  If you're using a control panel, 4 cores with 8+ GB ram.

Why are invisioncommunity devs so blind for webp?

It's not like it requires any other extra work, since the compression of webp is already existant by nature.
Simply allowing webp by default shouldn't be the biggest deal, or is it?
It's already widely accepted by all major browsers, so there's no excuse on that anymore, especially not since you dropped IE support yourselfs.
But still, every request and any conversation about webp have either been put down, or ignored.

Could we please get an explanation why you're so anti-fast-web?
I'm honestly wondering why is that.
 
I'm also wondering if the spacer.png image load implementation is still best practice either.
Wouldn't it make more sense to add native lazy loading instead?
Really keen to live up to todays SEO standards and performance requirements.

Greetings and salutations. It gives me great pleasure to offer the following contract work to any developer currently seeking employment.
I am seeking a compatible plugin for Invision Community Suite 4.6 (yet to be released). The purpose of this plugin will be to provide an authorized user the capacity to read personal messages throughout the site to fulfill a legal requirement obligation.  The plugin should also have the ability to tap into the built-in language support system already found in Invision.  
The development of this plugin shall be non-exclusive, and the developer will be welcome to publish the finished product to be sold to other interested clients if they so desire.  However, the initial startup cost will be covered by myself (naturally).
Interest parties are welcome to reply here or send me a personal message at your discretion. 🙂
 
None interest parties.
Beyond the software, many will always see things differently. You live, or where your site is hosted, you are perhaps lucky to have such privacy laws. The people of your nation naturally will find it hard to live any other way. It is rooted in your culture, legal system, and society. I think you are very fortunate. There is something to admire how others have so many protective rights concerning privacy. My site is located in China. It is very different there. But we can sit here all day talking about the philosophy and the difference of legality throughout the world. But I rather not (please).
I much instead would prefer to focus on the software. I am not here to debate personal beliefs or the differences between nations. My only goal is to keep my site running smoothly and legally. For that, I need such a modification. I do not particularly like it. It is not the highlight of my day when I am required to do so. But we all do what we must.  I ask you kindly to please respect these facts.
Thank you for your time and consideration. 🙂
 

I humbly and respectfully would like to pardon my request that the Invision Development Team please give significant consideration in possibly developing a command-line upgrade and import option. It could be most beneficial for large communities whose content ranges in the millions or billions. 
Thank you for your time and consideration.

No. There is no command line version of the upgrader.

Just a quick question. Does a CLI version of a regular IPS upgrade script exist?
@CoffeeCake ?

Please consider providing a command line PHP script to perform installs/upgrades in a cronjob (or as single interactive command). I can handle automating updating the PHP files, but it is a problem to upgrade the database (which resides on multiple servers in multiple datacenters) in a production environment.
I need to be able to perform upgrades of the database and the php files with minimal downtime, perhaps in the early mornings unattended. Ideally, upgrades could be performed in a rolling update to multiply PHP servers/MySQL databases. These services run in containers and rolling updates are easy to automate with the right upgrade system tasks. The upgrades can be tested in the development servers before being pushed to the production servers.

I'm as well. Sometimes it loses content, sometimes it doesn't, sometimes old content is restored.
 

I can reproduce it here and on my community. I type something in, I go to the previous page it loads me in, I scroll back to the editor and its closed. SOMETIMES (very rarely mind you) it will have my cached save but most of the time not.
I'm using FF @Daniel F
Edit: I'll be honest, I thought it was working as intended.
